Krylon K01981008 Sandable Gray Brush-on Paint 1 Gallon

Product Description

The KRYLON K01981008 is an oil-based, brush-on primer-paint in Sandable Gray, formulated for exterior applications on wood and metal surfaces. It arrives in a 1-gallon can and is applied with a brush, making it a straightforward choice for trade professionals handling surface prep and protective coating work on outdoor structures, equipment housings, and metal components. Coverage ranges from 50 to 200 square feet per gallon depending on surface porosity and application method. Cleanup requires mineral spirits. Full dry time is 3 hours under recommended temperature conditions. The product is intended for outdoor use and performs within a working temperature window of 55 to 75 degrees F.

This coating is suited for outdoor residential and light commercial applications where a sandable, oil-based finish is required on bare or previously coated wood and metal. Typical use cases include fence components, metal brackets, structural wood members, and equipment enclosures exposed to weather. The sandable formulation allows for topcoating after dry time, making it a practical base coat option in multi-step finishing systems. It is applied by brush directly to the prepared substrate.

Installation Notes

Surface prep is critical before application — remove loose paint, rust, mill scale, and contaminants, then sand or wire-brush to a clean substrate. Apply only when ambient and surface temperatures are between 55 and 75 degrees F and humidity conditions are within acceptable limits for oil-based coatings. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying. Dispose of mineral spirits and used rags per local regulations, as oil-soaked rags present a fire hazard.
